Bermuda Triangle

The Journal of the Paranormal reported the following,

It happened on the morning of March 20, 1862 The Ship "Mulan" vanished at sea!

"Mulan" was 50 foot long merchant ship transporting industrial spare parts and headed towards Miami. The night before the incident the crew was relaxing, on the fore deck playing cards, smoking or looking at the Florida coast. The captain was quietly filling his log book in his cabin when he noticed the beams of the lighthouse. But "Mulan" never reached her destination and nobody heard any more from the ship or her crew. Surprisingly no evidence was found until now which could have explained this sudden disappearance.

"Something is not right here, Dr. Watson" said Sherlock Holmes, "Think !"

sherlock holmes would have been surprised to be investigating a ship that disappeared in 1962 cos he lived in the 1800s.

Good catch, it was 1862 not 1962 :)

A bunch of inconsistencies/errors:
1. A 50 ft. vessel is by no means a ship, a yacht at best; max capacity of about 10-15 people and very little cargo.
2. 1862 is the height of the Civil War, the Florida/Miami coast (along with the rest of the Southern ports) was blockaded by the Northern Navy and so a peaceful approach was unlikely, as well as delivery of industrial parts.
3. The time period is out of tune with trade in industrial parts, especially in a non-industrialized area, such as South Florida.
4. Captain's cabin is typically aft, so looking forward is unlikely.
5. Since the crew was playing cards on the foredeck, they must have had lights. It seems unlikely that they could see the Florida coast at night with the lights burning.
6. The same lights would have made it difficult to see the lighthouse.

if no one heard from the ship or crew had never been seen again, the report outlining what they were all doing prior to the disappearance could not have been written, because nobody would know.
